Sex toy company Lovense have com under fire after consumers realised that the remote control app on their mobile phone was recording sound.

The Hong Kong-based company released an app to go alongside their sex toys which means that they can be controlled remotely.

But that's not all the app has been doing, according to some of its users.

Users of the app have taken to Reddit to reveal that they discovered the app having access to their in-built microphone - as well as their camera.

Shockingly, they then found a folder of recordings - one of which was a six-minute recording of the owner using their sex toy.

Somewhat obviously, the users say they did not authorise the app to record using their microphone.

The company has now released a statement to The Verge saying that it was the fault of a "minor bug" in the app.

They said: "We do not store any audio files on our servers. For the sound feature to work, we have to create a local cache file.

"This file is supposed to be deleted at the end of each session but because of a bug in the last version of our Android app, the file wasn’t deleted successfully.

"With this bug, the cache file was stored on the user’s device until the next session, which overwrites on the previous cache file."

Erm... That's all very well and good, but why are they recording the sound in the first place?!

Anyway... If you use this app, you might want to restrict its permissions!

TOP 10 RICHEST BRITISH CELEBS UNDER 30

1. Adele (£132m)

It probably comes as no surprise that Adele is sitting comfortably on top of Heat's 2017 under 30s rich list. With 15 Grammy's under her belt, the 29-year-old mum-of-one is quite deservedly rolling in the cash.

Daniel Radcliffe worth2 of 10

2. Daniel Radcliffe (£78m)

Who'd have thought back in 2001 that little Harry Potter would one day appear naked on Broadway (in the play Equus - not just as a streaker!) and be worth a stonking £78m? Not us, that's for sure! Good on ya, lad!

Ed Sheeran worth3 of 10

3. Ed Sheeran (£52m)

He may be just a normal bloke who enjoys nothing more than a pint (or eight), but Ed Sheeran's bank account is pretty extraordinary. And with his song-writing prowess (Shape of You reached number 1 in 44 countries!), we predict his bank balance to keep growing.

Harry Styles worth4 of 10

4. Harry Styles (£50m)

The youngest celeb on the list, Harry Styles is officially the richest member of One Direction. Worth an impressive £50m, mini Mick Jagger (as he shall henceforth be known), seems to be smashing life as a solo star.

Emma Watson worth5 of 10

5. Emma Watson (£48m)

Another Harry Potter alumni, Emma Watson seemed to have no troubles breaking free of Hermione, landing roles in films including The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Bling Ring, and Beauty and The Beast.

Liam Payne worth6 of 10

6. Liam Payne (£40m)

In sixth place (along with his 1D bandmates Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan) is Liam Payne. Worth a cool £40m, he's worth double that of his girlfriend and baby mama, Cheryl Tweedy.

6. Louis Tomlinson (£40m)

Has someone just told Louis Tomlinson what he's worth? Is that why he's so shocked? Probably...

Niall Horan worth8 of 10

6. Niall Horan (£40m)

Surely the sweetest member of One Direction (just look at his little face!), Niall Horan has been carving out a respectable name for himself as a solo artist, and recently topped the US album charts with his debut solo album, Flicker.

Zayn Malik worth9 of 10

9. Zayn Malik (£37m)

We think we finally know why Zayn Malik - owner of the world's finest cheek bones - always looks so glum; because he's the least wealthy member of One Direction. Coming in £3m behind Louis, Liam and Niall, and a painful £13m less than Harry, would put a scowl on our faces too tbf.

Little Mix worth10 of 10

10. Little Mix (£28m, £7m each)

Can we hear it for the girls? Yes, lovely Little Mix take 10th place in the richest Brit stars under 30. Although it should be noted that they're worth £28m as a group (not that we'd be complaining with £7m each!).
